Each year Joseph took his whole family with him to attend the Passover celebration at Jerusalem. We remember the occasion when they were returning to Nazareth, Joseph and Mary found that the 12-year-old Jesus was missing. Diligently they searched for him and finally found him at the temple in Jerusalem, listening to and questioning the teachers there. The Bible is silent on the extent of the training Joseph gave to Jesus. Certainly, though, he contributed to Jesus’ progressing in wisdom. (Lu 2:51, 52) Joseph also had to have taught him carpentry, for Jesus was known both as “the carpenter’s son” (Mt 13:55) and as “the carpenter.”—Mark 6:3. Joseph’s death is not specifically mentioned in the Scriptures. But it seems that he did not survive Jesus. Why do I say that? Had he lived beyond Passover time of 33 C.E., it is unlikely that the impaled Jesus would have entrusted Mary to the care of the apostle John. See —John 19:26, 27.

The last we hear of St. Joseph in the Gospels is for the Bar Mitzvah of Jesus in Jerusalem..however http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/08504a.htm This is the last we hear of St. Joseph in the sacred writings, and we may well suppose that Jesus's foster-father died before the beginning of Savior's public life. In several circumstances, indeed, the Gospels speak of the latter's mother and brothers (Matthew 12:46; Mark 3:31; Luke 8:19; John 7:3), but never do they speak of His father in connection with the rest of the family; they tell us only that Our Lord, during His public life, was referred to as the son of Joseph (John 1:45; 6:42; Luke 4:22) the carpenter (Matthew 13:55). Would Jesus, moreover, when about die on the Cross, have entrusted His mother to John's care, had St. Joseph been still alive? According to the apocryphal "Story of Joseph the Carpenter", the holy man reached his hundred and eleventh year when he died, on 20 July (A.D. 18 or 19). St. Epiphanius gives him ninety years of age at the time of his demise; and if we are to believe the Venerable Bede, he was buried in the Valley of Josaphat. In truth we do not know when St. Joseph died; it is most unlikely that he attained the ripe old age spoken of by the "Story of Joseph" and St. Epiphanius. The probability is that he died and was buried at Nazareth.

After mentioning him in the Gospel of Luke (Lu 2:46 After three days they found him in the temple courts, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions.) there is no mention of him in the Bible. He was not with Jesus's mother and brothers when they are mentioned in the Gospel of Matthew; but he is referred to as the carpenter's son. (Mt 12:46 While Jesus was still talking to the crowd, his mother and brothers stood outside, wanting to speak to him. 47 Someone told him, "Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to speak to you." 48 He replied to him, "Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?" 49 Pointing to his disciples, he said, "Here are my mother and my brothers. Mt 12:55 "Isn't this the carpenter's son? Isn't his mother's name Mary, and aren't his brothers James, Joseph, Simon and Judas? These passages are repeated in the Gospels of Mark 3:31-34; and Luke 8:19-21. There are other mentions of Mary but none of Joseph. There are many theories of what happened to him but they are not from the bible. We can determine from the bible that he was a man of God who was faithful and who lived at least long enough to teach Jesus how to be a carpenter. (Mark 6:3 Isn't this the carpenter? Isn't this Mary's son and the brother of James, Joseph, Judas and Simon? Aren't his sisters here with us?" And they took offense at him.)

There are many literal errors in the Bible. The Ascension of Christ is but one. In Luke it says that Jesus ascended from Bethany which is very close to Jerusalem into heaven, yet in Acts 1:9-12 it clearly says that Jesus ascended from the Mount of Olives which is a "sabbath walking distance from Jerusalem". Even stranger is the fact that there are now three different churches that lay claim to the actual location of the ascension: Church of Holy Ascension, Paternoster Church and Church of the Ascension. All of these locations have been passed down from tradition right to the time of Christ. I'm not saying that the Bible is wrong, just that not everything written in the Bible is the literal truth. i.e. Jesus had no siblings and in all likelihood the bothers referred to in the Bible are in fact his cousins.

Later in Jesus life he died... I know no scriptures or other evidence to when or how...

Joseph the carpenter & husband of Mary, father of Jesus was previously married to Debora and had 5 children of which 4 had survived. (Eleazar, Mathew, Cleofais otherwise known as Simon son of joseph, and Elizabeth) Mary at 15years of age,had been presented to the temple at Sian in Jerusalem by her uncles Simon & Eleazar when her parents Jacob & Ana had died within a few months of each other. Mary stayed there until she was 17years old when she accepted to marry the widowed Joseph. She had Jesus when she was 24years old in Bethlehem at the house of Sara her elderly aunt,... subsequently she had Efrain, Joseph, Andria, Ana & James. When Jesus attained 23years of age, Mary was now 47, and Joseph his father, died from a heart attack being 65 years old. I hope this helps your understanding. PS:There never was a concensus at the time of Jesus' birth in the year 6BC = 748 AUC or -5BCE Astronomical = 3756/7 Hebrew calender. The 'star' of Bethlehem wa not a singular unit, but a conjunction of the predicted sidereal aspect of... MARS,SATURN & JUPITER in the sign of PISCES.

Jesus entrusted John to take care of his mother because He saw John as a brother because of John's devotion and love for Jesus. The question you have to ask yourself is "Does Jesus consider me a brother/ sister?" How deep is your love and devotion for the Savior? Would you have risked your life by standing at the foot of the cross as John did? Well, God isn't asking you to do that, but he is asking for your life. He is asking that your life be an act of worship to him.
